The Wirrpanda Foundation delivers culturally appropriate programs that are designed and delivered by Aboriginal people. These programs focus on assisting Aboriginal children, families and the community to further develop and equip them with the skills to make significant social decisions that directly impact on their lives. The priority of the Foundation remains employing local Aboriginal role models who are empowered to build capacity in their own communities.
